In retrospect I'm not sure why no one did this before. The sample isn't
exactly
representative (since it is xkcd fora). But one interesting thing seems clear;
the public prefers spoiler warnings on Wikipedia and uses them.
Maybe it is just me, but this seems like a pretty good argument for
reinstating
them, or at minimum undeleting the template and letting people use them where
they judge to be more or less necessary.
